This guide is for horse owners and riders looking to improve their horse's comfort and responsiveness with a bit. The HKM Eggbutt Snaffle with Lozenge offers the benefit of encouraging salivation and acceptance, potentially improving the horse's willingness to work.

Measure the width of your horse's mouth using a bit gauge or by placing a ruler where the bit will sit. The bit should be wide enough to sit comfortably without pinching, with a small amount of space on either side.
Replace the bit if it becomes damaged, shows signs of excessive wear, or the lozenge is completely gone. Regular inspection and cleaning will help to prolong the bit's life.
Yes, the apple flavor is generally safe for horses. However, it's always wise to monitor your horse for any adverse reactions or preferences.
While the HKM Eggbutt Snaffle with Lozenge can be used for various disciplines, it's best to assess the horse's needs and your riding style to determine if it is the best fit.
Rinse the bit with warm water after each use. You can also use a mild soap occasionally. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before storing.
Every horse is different. If your horse doesn't respond well to the apple flavor, you may consider trying a different bit or lozenge with a different flavor, or a bit without a flavor at all.
Check the bit's fit and ensure it's the correct size. Consider whether the horse likes the flavor. Consult with a veterinarian or professional if resistance persists.
This is normal, as the lozenge is designed to be consumed. Replace the bit with a new one when the lozenge is gone. Consider the horse's habits and how often the bit is used.
